ANCHORAGE- Anchorage police say four men are in custody in the case of a teenager beaten and left for dead in September in a vacant Anchorage house.

Two were already in custody, and the last two were arrested late Monday and early Tuesday.

Police in a statement said 19-year-old Iosia Fiso, 20-year-old Trevvor Trobough, 22-year-old Michael Liufau and 21-year-old Tye Manning are each accused of assault and hindering prosecution. Liufau also faces a count of coercion.

Police said 18-year-old James Clinton has awakened from a coma and is recovering from near-fatal injuries.

A mysterious note was dropped off Sept. 16 at the University of Alaska Anchorage Police Department, saying a teenager had been severely beaten and left to die. Police found Clinton in a locked house that was scheduled for demolition.
